1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been previously implicated in number of diseases. However, the roles of circRNAs in photoaging remain elusive. In the present study, to understand if photoaging influences the levels of circRNA expression, the expression of circRNAs in ultraviolet A (UVA)-irradiated human dermal fibroblasts were profiled. A total of 128 circRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed (fold change >1.5; P<0.05) after UVA exposure, including 39 upregulated and 89 downregulated circRNAs. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes biological pathway analyses indicated that the differentially expressed circRNAs were associated with extracellular matrix organization and metabolism. The present study revealed an altered circRNA expression pattern in human dermal fibroblasts following UVA-irradiation. These results provide not only a basis for in-depth study of the mechanism of skin photoaging but also a new possibility for the prevention and treatment of photoaging and associated skin diseases.
